Roma sold Sanabria in July 2016 for a fee of €7.5 million, with an option to buy the player back for €11 million at the end of two seasons and then for €14.5 million after the third. Roma will reportedly exercise this €11 million option this summer after Sanabria’s excellent start to the season as he has 6 goals in 9 matches. However, it’s possible that the player’s stay will only be temporary, as several clubs in Spain are interested in the player, who could be used as a piece to become another “plusvalenza”.
